The thoughts were interrupted by the voice, causing Bai Ye to turn his head to find the source.
A man, around thirty years old, stood behind him. He wore peculiar clothing, an ancient long robe, and on his head, a black hair-binding crown. In his hand, he held a three-foot-long sword.
Bai Ye blinked and said, "Someone from the Wuxia world?"
Bai Ye scrutinized the man's face, finding it somewhat familiar, especially those two small mustaches, which were etched into his memory.
Yes, it was this damned guy. The last time he entered the World Battlefield, this man had chased him relentlessly, forcing him to crawl into the sewers and endure unimaginable stench just to save his own life.
At the same time, the man who had suddenly appeared raised his sword.
"Disciple of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, Zhang Yeshan." The man sneered, looking at Bai Ye and saying, "Kid, are you ready to die?"
As Zhang Yeshan spoke, he flicked his wrist.
The three-foot-long sword in his hand danced like a silver snake emerging from its den. In an instant, silver sword light flashed, exuding a chilling aura. xxs壹贰
As the sword light swept outwards, traces of slashes appeared on the ground, looking shocking. One could imagine that if it struck a person, it would result in dismembered limbs scattered everywhere.
This swordsmanship clearly showed skill!
Even if not a top-tier master, he could be considered a first-class swordsman!
Then…
Bang!
Bai Ye suddenly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, the dancing sword light instantly dissipated.
A bloody hole appeared on Zhang Yeshan's forehead. The man fell straight backward, and after hitting the ground, he lay still, completely silent.
"You have killed a participant (Wuxia World)."
"For your first kill of a Wuxia World participant, you have received a reward: Sunflower Manual (Fragment)."
Bai Ye glanced at the corpse on the ground with disdain and casually tucked his gun back into its holster.
What a joke, a disciple of the Sun Moon Holy Cult? Doesn't he know I know the One Yang Finger?
Although he had returned to ten years ago, he was no longer the same person who was chased back then!
However, thinking about it, Bai Ye suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Zhang Yeshan, someone who had once hunted him, had appeared. It seemed he had truly returned to ten years ago, all because of that damned "Try Again" card!
The situation was infuriating, but since it was unchangeable, he could only accept it.
He had fought and conquered on this battlefield before. What was so different about doing it again?
Bai Ye displayed a sense of fearlessness. If he could succeed once, he could succeed a second time.
Therefore, it was time to consider his current situation!
Bai Ye looked at the projected light screen again.

[The average baseline for adult life data detection is 10]
A ancient booklet appeared among his held items. Bai Ye casually flipped through it. The first page was written in bold calligraphy: To practice this skill, castrate yourself.
And then…
Nothing else!
Bai Ye's mind was instantly filled with question marks.
So, the meaning of "fragment" was just the part about self-castration, and then there was nothing about the actual martial arts?
Who in their right mind would be willing to cut themselves?
Bai Ye decided to pretend he never received this thing. It was too much of a scam!
Next were his current physical data. Bai Ye looked at them and felt a deep sense of guilt. He was dragging down all the adults in the world.
Strength, speed, and stamina were all below the average level for adults. Bai Ye had forgotten that ten years ago, he was a weakling among weaklings. His greatest dream was for his paper-waifu to come alive. The only attributes above the average line were intelligence and spirit.
However, there was good news. Although Bai Ye had lost everything upon returning to ten years ago, Loki's Gacha Machine had returned with him.
Even though the thought of "Try Again" made Bai Ye angry, it was undeniable that Loki's Gacha Machine had been crucial to his success in reaching the end of the World Battlefield in his previous life.
[Loki's Gacha Machine]
Description: A masterpiece from the God of Mischief. You can find anything you desire from the gacha. As for what you will actually get, that depends on your luck.
Usage Rule 1: Within twenty-four hours, you can only draw three times. The usage count will reset to zero at midnight each day.
Usage Rule 2: If you are willing to offer God Stone Fragments, you can exchange them for a chance to draw a gacha of a specified color.
This item was obtained by Bai Ye from the ruins of a divine relic after much effort. Each time he spun the gacha machine, Bai Ye would receive a gacha capsule containing different abilities, weapons, or items.
Generally, the quality of the items was distinguished by color, with white being the worst, followed by green, blue, black, red, and gold.
To use the masterpiece of the God of Mischief, luck was very important.
But overall, this gacha machine was mostly reliable, though it would occasionally be a rip-off…
After contemplating his data panel for a while, Bai Ye quickly knew what he needed to do. He had to improve his physique as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if the gacha machine provided him with powerful weapons, he might not be able to unleash their full potential with his weak body.
To put it more directly, his frail body could become an opening for his opponents during combat. Therefore, this was a weakness that Bai Ye urgently needed to address.
"Doomsday Ruins…" Suddenly, Bai Ye had a flash of inspiration and murmured, "If it's the Doomsday Ruins area, there really is a good place suitable for me."
There were many areas in the World Battlefield, generally divided into three types. The first type was the ordinary area, where the danger was usually not high. Their main purpose was to find some common weapons and search for supplies.
The second type of area was called a dangerous area. These areas usually had considerable danger, with various monsters or natural disasters. The advantage was that people could find some good things in dangerous areas to strengthen themselves, and the supplies in dangerous areas were also more abundant. The disadvantage, of course, was becoming a corpse more easily.
The third type of area was called a forbidden zone. These areas were the most dangerous and were closely related to certain worlds, possessing their own stories. Entering these areas would also trigger forbidden zone missions. If they could be completed, they could usually lead to a significant improvement in one's strength. Furthermore, God Stones had only two sources: the first was from the mutual killing of chosen ones from various worlds, with a certain probability of obtaining them after a kill, and the other source was the forbidden zones.
Bai Ye's target was the forbidden zone within the Doomsday Ruins – the Umbrella Corporation Underground Base!
